Thanks for the comments and recommendations! With the holidays here I have had to put the Lava Lounge on the back burner and put up christmas lights for the wife. I have some ashtrays around and will try some different ones out to see how I feel about them. I agree with you a lava lamp would look extra cool in there. I am always at the local swap meets so I am going to keep my eye out for one. I've actually seen a few I like but they want 300-500 clams for them. And I can justify paying that for a lamp. As for the giant ku, I got that at a place in Newport Beach called the house of tiki. They went out of business and were selling it off cheep because the eyes on that one don't light up. Only one of them does. To fix it I would have to cut into the base and go up the inside from the bottom. They were cheep lights powered by 2 AA batteries. So I didn't even bother. The sheer size of that thing is impressive enough. Everyone that see's it either loves it or asks why I would have something like that in my house. Thats when I kick their a$$ out of the Lava Lounge! Anyway thanks again for the comments. I'll get back to work on that in a couple weeks and start posting more pix of my progress. It took me years to find this site and now that I know I am not the only one obsessive about this stuff its like finding a home on the island of misfit toys! LOL

Aloha,
Suicide Tiki
